Once again a wonderful stay at “The Christmas House”. Beautiful frosty weather. Wood fire put to good use. Visted The Abbey again!. Two good lunches out The Piercefield (St Arvans) The Anchor (Tintern). Going home refreshed. As always we will be back. Thanks Fiona and Malcolm for the warm welcome and the lovely house.

Thank you, we had a wonderful visit in Tintern, and we all had a great week! Stunning views of The Abbey in all weathers – mellow frosty mornings, dark and dank in the drizzle and majestic in the sunshine. Fabulous! We enjoyed the lovely area exploring plenty of walks to keep us and the dogs happy. All the pubs, cafes around Tintern offer good food, with a friendly welcome. Recommend the Castle at Chepstow and follow the blue/green arrows around the town telling you all about the history. Wonderful friendly pub the Boat Inn on the river bank. Also Raglan Castle was amazing….I wish I could go back in time! Lovely cottage and thank you for the welcome “treats” Denise and Elwyn Clark Trepoint Cornwall Paul, Rosemary and Barry - January 2017
WOW! What a wonderful and Relaxing retreat! Timely visit for the Abergavenny Food Festival. Beautiful local walks along the Usk Valley and Iron Age fort was brilliant too. A visit to Bettws Newydd church is also worth it too – especially for the Yews and the Church!! I will definitely come back!! Thank you also for the welcome pack, wine, Welsh cakes, blackberry Vodka and the doggy treats! Rufus appreciated those. You have thought of every detail to make this a delightful stay!. The enclosed garden is excellent when you have a four legged friend, also the advice on local walks meant that I didn’t have to drive if I didn’t want to! I sampled the food at the Angel Hotel “££££” but amazing. Coffee and cake in Luigi’s in Abergavenny was my favourite over the week. Having logs for the fire was also beneficial and thoughtful.

What a fabulous cottage, truly 5 star! This was a last minute booking for my partner’s birthday and it didn’t disappoint! All the little welcoming touches (Christmas decorations, chocolates in the Advent calendar, wine and homemade berry infused vodka) were extremely well received – thank you. We had a relaxing few days, didn’t venture out much but that was the point of a relaxing break. As it was a last minute break we couldn’t get into either of the Michellin star restaurants but we did manage to get a table at The Hardwick. It is about a 25-30 minute drive but well worth the journey to sample Stephen Terry’s delicious food. We wandered over to Tintern Abbey a couple of times but unfortunately we couldn’t get in as it was closed due to a film crew being on site. Lovely meal at The Anchor on our last night, perfect end to a fabulous few days away! We will definitely be back! Thanks Fiona and Malcolm Adam and Allison - December 2016
Had a super week. Beautiful walks to Offas Dyke, Symonds Yat and the Four Waterfalls. Found the walks had fairly flat easy walking parts which suited us – days for more strenuous parts have gone! The cottage is lovely and cosy, everything we needed and everything our Lab needed too! Thank you for a wonderful stay. Ooh, I almost forgot the treats ytou left for us and the dog!
